The spell tome melted in Mellies' hands as she absorbed the ridiculous skill. "So" Mellie said as she spun around to her shocked companions, "I dont need to explain how all of the things you heard in this room need to stay in this room. And the things about me as well." She said gravely. "We need to find the elves, the demonkin and the dwarves to reform their dying races." She explained to the group. "So, Robert copy these rune formations and then burn them out. Mary, lets go look for loot." She decided. Mellie laughed aloud. She would essentially become a demon pimp when she found a place to set up the portals.
Many of the tomes crumbled upon touching them, from age, not knowledge retention. Some of the books were journals on the creation of the races and the creation of monsters. Mary took one to read through as Mellie went through the tomes.

Monsters and men. There seemed to be an unclear dividing line between them between sentience and madness. Some dragons were sentient and sane, just punished with greed or envy. Often it was hard madness from depression other than action or inaction. Magical beasts could be frightening. And Mellie was, technically, a magical beast.
Finally Mellie found a spell at the bottom of a broken wooden box. She laughed at the spell, looking to see how much room for spells and skills she had, and devoured the book, giggling.

She offered the book to Mary but she said, "This is what your family left behind for you. That wouldn't sit right with me."The book crumbled as Mellie absorbed it. The skillbook she found had to go to Mary. "I don't need a skillbook to make wine with my spells." She said as she handed her the book.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Mary eyed the skill sadly, about to refuse. "Hey" Mellie said, "Life may be kinda shit now, but when it's not, you gotta keep your passions alive. Take the skill." Mary stared at the book a moment longer, and smiled at her new knowledge as the book crumbled.
In the final room they explored, on a pedestal standing next to a broken portal was one last tome. She felt a pull toward the book. She knew this one wasn't a joke. This room was where she was supposed to arrive.

Mellie took the spell, and immediately felt she could see a visual change in her companions. She noticed that her Debuff was finally gone. She walked up to Mary. "May I?" she asked her. Mary nodded and placed her hand over her chest. She pushed her will into Mary to forget the corpse eating from her mind, and let her go. Mary blinked. "What was that?" She asked, confused.
Mellie smiled, "You didn't need to remember your meals when you weren't yourself," she vaguely explained as they walked toward Robert. He had long finished copying the rune formations and was balancing three tomes on rune formations that were barely holding themselves together. Mellie smacked Mary in the face with a slice of what looked like American cheese while laughing, so she didn't have to explain herself.
As Mellie was laughing, her little sewn on pocket started glowing and a little fairy woke up, hungry. Fortunately she was best friends with a magical beastwoman who let her nap in her pocket. "Morning Mellie." the little fairy mumbled to Mellie. All she heard was a buzz then she tried her new spell.
